This is true of diy comps in general. If you're enjoying that Cali, you just aren't going to find a similar caliber diy project.
Any bassist recommendations?

After listening to the 2 demo's,BEST. POSSIBLE. ANSWER.
after, "Why, YES, of course."
I think this sounds just as good with more Gain.
My Modified Version of the PedalPCB XB-MB Preamp
which I modeled from the XOTIC Bass Preamp:
NC - No Cap.
I thought one of the Bass Members would have built this by now since I listed it???:
That is because the Nobleman has more Bass than most overdrives available.
That's why Nashville Guitarist love it as it fattens up the Tele Bridge pickup.
The lates Nobels ODR-1 has a Bass cut switch inside the battery compartment on top so Humbucker players can use it.

I've got the PCB, I've got your notes, I don't yet have the time.
I've read a lot of good things about Bajaman's emulation circuits.

A lot of TB'ers have built his pre-EB MusicMan two band preamp clone with excellent results, that was my entree into doing my own PCB layouts actually.

That's a nice pedal.
I agree it has more bass than most, and that it why it’s used. I would also add, this is important, not because of the tele pickups (which have the mids of a P90), rather many are using this as a distortion channel to their Fender and vox amps, and NOT as an overdrive pushing a crunchy amp over the top. So they set their Twin or Super to 2 or 3 for the bright clean, and then use this with unity output gain as a light distortion. Boss OD3 is the same way— works better as a low gain distortion than a true overdrive (although with the right guitar/amp combo, they both hold their own as an overdrive as well).
